I'm heading over because there is a new
1:02
annual passholder magnet that I will be

1:51
up to 90
1:53
90° summer isn't even here yet but it
1:56
kind of sort of is already when it comes
1:59
to the humidity and weather kind of sort
2:01
of already maybe kind of somewhat is
2:04
uh-oh construction
2:19
update that was an easy workaround no
2:19
major game plan today other than have a
2:22
casual day at one of the wdw parks
2:25
enjoying my annual past goodness little
2:29
magnet action and a little AP preview
2:34
action in World Showcase as well is that
2:36
thing going to move I think it's about
2:38
to move did it move it acted like it was
2:41
going to
2:42
move I don't think it
2:49
moved I think it was supposed to move
2:49
but it's still
2:58
there there it goes there it goes all
2:58
right woo also look at this mess over
3:01
here when trying to go to the bank but
3:04
there's no parking there but people park
3:06
there I don't know it's just kind of a
3:07
it's a weird scenario over there here in
3:10
the little circle also yesterday the
3:12
fountain was not on it was not working
3:14
but I am here to State the fountain in
3:16
downtown celebration here on Market
3:18
Street where water connects with Market
3:20
Street is back and fully op a ration all
3:26
right Disney World Time annual pass
3:30
holder day I did have to make a
3:32
reservation however because after two I
3:35
could go in Epcot with my annual pass
3:37
but before to got to make that resi I
3:40
have officially parked at Crush 2113 a
3:43
little farther out than usual I guess
3:45
it's going to be a busy day used to be
3:47
Discovery you could kind of faintly see
3:50
the lettering in there if it shows up on
3:51
camera but used to be
3:53
Discovery but now it's
3:55
Crush 2113 and I'm just I think I'm
3:58
going to opt to walk
4:01
of course Crush 213 right next to crush
4:03
212 you see the Montreal going by over
4:08
there yeah I'm just going to walk it not
4:10
a far walk could take the tram but I'm
4:12
going to walk it I'm going to Ho
4:15
it hopefully the Sun
4:23
stays behind those clouds that'll be
4:23
really nice find your vehicle won't St
4:26
you may behind
4:27
those I'm going to guess it probably
4:29
won't
4:30
but if it stays a little
4:33
overcast I'm not going to complain it's
4:35
not overcast at all but if those clouds
4:37
start to forming those cumul Nimbus come
4:38
into fruition that would be nice o
4:41
patience be very patient because
4:44
something amazing is about to
4:47
happen
4:50
right
4:51
now there
4:54
goes the monor
5:01
well I had a golf cart with some cast
5:01
members in it there's nothing better
5:03
than a no game planned
5:06
day I have them often but I don't have
5:09
them every day so when I do have them
5:11
embrace them Joffrey's hack might work
5:14
today using the Starbucks when you first
5:16
walk in is very busy but there is not a
5:18
soul over here at least in line for
5:21
Joffrey so piping hot Caffe B from here
5:23
all right achieved it I don't like the
5:25
size portions it's a little smaller than
5:27
what you would get at Starbucks but the
5:28
fact that I weighted about out no
5:30
seconds at all I think that's a win dare
5:32
I say maybe the best reflective mirror
5:34
photo op video filming yourself looking
5:37
back at yourself place in the park or
5:40
maybe all of Disney World I don't know I
5:41
like this spot a lot right underneath
5:43
the nether regions the underbelly of
5:46
spaceship earth I'm going to head over
5:47
into the pin Traders store which is
5:50
underneath here see if they have any new
5:53
pins for sale Perhaps Perhaps there's
5:55
some new pins I could purchase and this
5:57
is still on my list to buy I just
5:58
haven't bought it yet but I have a good
6:00
spot in my house to put it I just
6:01
haven't gotten around to purchase it yet
6:03
one one day I'll get it one day you know
6:05
it's moderately busy when there is a
6:06
25-minute weight spaceship earth also
6:09
there were no pins in there that I can't
6:11
live without that really struck my fancy
6:13
that I didn't already have so moving
6:14
over to the former Mouse gears it's
6:16
called something else now but I just
6:17
keep calling it Mouse gears for some
6:19
reason just cuz I can't remember the new
6:20
name creation shop say it with yourself
6:22
Adam creation shop Creations shop
6:25
Creations shop annual passholder magnet
6:28
distribution right here in this line not
6:30
too bad of a line right quick and easy
6:32
that was about a 13 second wait just
6:35
walking up would even a wait it just
6:36
like walk right in check it out it's a
6:38
stitch magnet right there he's biting
6:40
the D which I the Disney d right there
6:44
look he's tooken a bite up here and he's
6:46
also taking a bite there he's about to
6:47
just engulf this magnet oh I wonder if I
6:49
could double down on the lounges today I
6:52
could do the new Lounge that's over in
6:54
Morocco and then I could do the the DVC
6:56
Lounge the top of the imagination
6:58
Pavilion when if Mickey Mickey and
7:00
Minnie would probably approve of that I
7:01
think they they would be they're all
7:03
about the double Lounge day got mama
7:05
duck right there and got her little
7:07
little babies back over there too as
7:09
well just nestled up together all right
7:11
taking the Friendship boat this jumps
7:13
off right at Morocco this first in line
7:16
so I'm going to jump in the back over
7:18
here could sit
7:21
inside I'm going to sit back here in the
7:24
back maybe right here yeah I'll grab the
7:27
middle seat cuz that's kind of sunny
7:28
over there
7:35
all out the side got some workers out
7:35
taking care of some stuff here on the
7:37
world showcase Lagoon straight ahead
7:40
over there is
7:41
moraca that is where the AP Lounge
7:46
is that's where I'm headed I could have
7:49
walked around it would have been way
7:50
quicker than way cuz when I first walked
7:52
up to get in line the Friendship boat
7:54
was parked over on the other side of
7:55
world'll showcase the go and you have to
7:57
wait like 15 minutes before it comes
7:59
back over could have walked over there
8:00
way quicker however I feel like since
8:03
this is a direct route straight across
8:06
might as well experience it since it's
8:07
dropping off exactly where I got to go I
8:10
also went ahead and took out the little
8:12
Center
8:13
portions where kind you can kind of see
8:16
through between the D and Stitches the
8:18
Torso
8:20
there put this on I used to used to put
8:23
magnets on my fridge but now in my
8:26
garage I built a bunch of metal cabinets
8:28
I have plenty of room for magnet because
8:30
before the fridge was way too filled up
8:32
so I like the new setup I have at home
8:33
now for magnets I got a lot of room for
8:36
magnets get my little and then from
8:38
Morocco we're going to have another
8:40
world traveling Journey thousands of
8:42
miles back here to can get aiel talking
8:46
about our world
8:53
travels gowhere for you as as you want
8:53
to go to can while the road to Mo please
8:56
where you are if you're going to stand
8:57
hold on to a ra re seat back and as
8:59
always I love a good boat ride I love
9:01
Walt Disney World Transportation love
9:03
transportation in general trains mon
9:06
rails Skyliners
9:12
boats You Name
9:16
It Wide Che that out Vis from our
9:20
neighbors to the but
9:22
also like they putting the fireworks out
9:25
the nighttime spectacular illuminous a
9:27
little bit lighter I will not be staying
9:29
for
9:30
that it's a nice little show it's not my
9:32
favorite Epcot night nighttime
9:34
spectacular over time but it's all
9:37
right I think it's a little better than
9:44
harmonious I don't know I don't know
9:44
which one I prefer neither one of them
9:45
are my favorites but both of them are
9:47
are
9:53
okay
9:53
our of vision so no matter where you're
9:55
standing you're going to get a good view
9:57
at 9:00 don't forget fireworks are at 9:
10:00
doesn't me Epcot closes at 9 I love
10:03
Epcot so much for those guests that
10:07
is speaking of the annual passholder
10:10
thing I think Epcot is the
10:12
quintessential perfect annual passholder
10:15
Disney park anywhere I think it's the
10:18
number one place to have an annual pass
10:21
to pop into just the perfect a
10:26
park just my opinion all right there it
10:28
is the pav ion of Morocco looks like
10:31
they got a little construction happening
10:33
back over here as well the Tangerine
10:37
Cafe there are walls around that and
10:40
every job that must be done there is an
10:42
element of fun little Mary poet's quote
10:46
right there yeah you just go around the
10:48
back right here changes nature got Remy
10:53
R twoe right
10:54
there race against the sun it kind of
10:57
sounds like the summers's here
10:59
in
11:01
Florida everything is possible even the
11:04
impossible well this is kind of like a
11:06
it's like hidden back in here we started
11:09
this thing together and that's how we'll
11:11
finish it
11:12
youan right there all right walking
11:14
through the construction area look at
11:16
all
11:17
this now this opened opening day of the
11:21
annual pass annual passholder Lounge
11:23
here at Epcot in 2024 is at the
11:26
restaurant maresh so this I think has
11:30
not reopened I believe since 2020 when
11:32
everything kind of shut down might even
11:34
even before that the only time they open
11:36
it is for a lounge you have to show your
11:39
ID and you have to show your AP and then
11:41
you walk in not too bad of a line
11:43
restaurant mares is where this is taking
11:46
place and I have not been in here this I
11:48
think this was an AP Lounge a couple
11:50
years ago but for whatever reason I
11:52
didn't I didn't I didn't come check it
11:54
out so first time I've been in here in
11:56
years all right I have showed my
11:57
credentials walking in it was only like
11:59
a like I said less than a minute wait it
12:01
was more like a 18c wait I haven't
12:03
waited more than besides waiting for the
12:05
Friendship boat I haven't waited more
12:07
than 13 seconds for anything so far
12:10
today so pretty nice on like opening day
12:13
I think there was like a massive massive
12:15
line on the first so this is this is
12:18
what they give you when you first walk
12:19
in you show your AP and your ID a little
12:21
uh little pin yeah it has been a heck of
12:23
a long time since I have been in here I
12:27
went in here I think once when it was
12:28
the restaurant itself but don't know
12:31
either that or I just have a forgetful
12:33
memory I do not believe I've been in
12:34
here this is kind of neat and it appears
12:36
as if Genie is meeting over there in the
12:38
corner look it's Genie H there's a
12:40
character meet and greet and please do
12:42
not use beverage dispens dispensers to
12:44
fill your own personal containers you
12:46
must utilize the complimentary cups that
12:50
are here which is what I did they also
12:51
have Moroccan mint tea they even have a
12:54
recharge station over here you got the
12:56
little code if your your phone needs a
12:58
little juice charging Locker
13:01
instructions right down here and then
13:03
you got the uh annual passholder emblem
13:06
right down there so if you need a little
13:07
juice for your
13:09
electronics that's what you got there's
13:11
even tables all right this is a lot a
13:14
lot neater than I thought it would be I
13:15
really wasn't expecting much but it's
13:17
kind of a kind of a nice little vibe in
13:19
here to say the least I'm really kind of
13:22
glad they have a character meet and
13:24
green as well so you can meet a meet a
13:26
character inside as well and there are
13:29
seats provided tables tables provided
13:32
just kind of a kind of a neat little
13:34
setup inside former
13:37
mares restaurant in here which don't
13:41
know if it'll ever reopen as a
13:42
restaurant but for now it's a Passover
13:44
all right got the coolest guy in here
13:46
with the shades Gary is here it's all
13:49
right 10 years it's been since I've been
13:51
here you haven't been inside the
13:52
restaurant mirash in 10 years yeah it
13:55
was good food and it still looks the
13:58
same other than the uh than the the the
14:02
character meet and greet but this place
14:04
used to be where it was at man they used
14:06
to have belly dancers in here and stuff
14:08
and you you've never uh never been in
14:10
here I might have walked in you were you
14:12
we were talking before I put you on
14:13
camera about this being the Advent
14:15
Health Lounge I might have walked in so
14:18
this is the first time it's been an AP
14:19

14:23
never never went to the restaurant they
14:24
have free drinks there that or anything
14:26
I don't even remember I don't even

14:29
I might have I don't know it's been a
14:31
long time ago yeah it's it's something
14:35

there in my mind it's still there all
25:57
right before head heading out a little
25:59
bit later before heading out for the day
26:01
I should say going to do an attraction
26:03
thinking maybe living with the land look
26:06
like it's a 20 minute wait I think it
26:07
might even be less than a 20 minute wait
26:09
it says 20 but I'm going to guess it's
26:11
probably less than that Living went the
26:12
L

oh that's
27:29
